1. What's the emblem on his shield?

[Drunken Irishman]

2. It's a fascist symbol, I believe.

[Docreed2003]

18. So I went to the link you provided and also Googled Othela rune

But none of the images seem to match the emblem he has on that shield. Could it be a different symbol?

[muriel_volestrangler]

25. His symbol is crossed fasces rods, but the stupid fucker is holding it upside down

https://www.britannica.com/topic/fasces

You can see it held the right way up by the guy next to him, just.

No one ever accused these bigots of intelligence.

27. Roman fasces were bundles of rods with an axe in the middle

There were paraded by Roman legionaires before the Tribune, who dispensed Roman justice within his jurisdiction. The fasces represented the power of the state. The rods to deliver blows, the axe to behead people found guilty by the Tribune of breaking Roman law, the "Pax Romana." The word "fascist" is derived from "fasces." Mussolini adopted the fasces and the Roman salute, aka Nazi salute, as part of his sticht and name his party "Fascists."

As a symbol of state power, the fasces are on the wall behind the Speaker's chair in the House of Representatives.

8. Rolling pins of the Dough Boys I believe

[procon]

15. Rolling pins! LOL That was my impression as well.

I thought, well even Nazi's have to eat and maybe he was a sous chef in the KKK Pastry Brigade.

[ProudLib72]

19. Dough boys finally got tired

of people poking their pudgy bellies and making them squeal. So they decided to take up arms. However, make no mistake; they are still just dough boys behind that fascist facade.

31. Odal or Othala rune

It's a symbol used by Nazis and white supremacists.

3. Robert E Lee's horse is about shit on his head!

Good catch!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. The Southern Poverty Law Center already has more info on him:

While speculation still surrounds Fields’ motives, available photography appears to show Fields present at the UTR event with members of Vanguard America, a racist right wing organization that helped Kessler organize the event.

The banner image of a Facebook page that appears to belong to Fields features the Othela rune, popular among Neo-Nazis and the far right.

5. Thanks for info, Ocelot - nt

[vlyons]

28. Tells me everything I need to know

about who these people are, and what their agenda is.

[geek tragedy]

7. Send this gentle young man to gen pop after he's convicted

Only fear is that there may be Trump supporters on his jury.

[dalton99a]

11. Seconded.

[stevenleser]

13. Unfortunately he'll be immediately inducted into the Aryan Brotherhood or similar outfit

in prison. I am sure he will get special status with them.

So unfortunately this waste of human flesh is probably going to do quite well in prison.

[joshcryer]

22. Wanted to disagree, but you appear to be correct.

The Brotherhood has their own racial segregation that they've gotten the prison systems to implement. (Which unfortunately is probably necessary for the safety of everyone, including the prisoners; a lifer will kill someone guaranteed if they are allowed the chance.)

In other words, he'll be with his "kind" and likely have a nicely filled commissary purse from outside fans.

[geek tragedy]

24. We'll see, he may have to earn his protection nt

[m-lekktor]

30. exactly. nt

[chelsea0011]

29. Hopefully, he gets charged with committing a terrorist act and is sent to federal prison.....

pretty harsh life.

[GusBob]

9. The horses ass tho

Even traveller shits on him

[backscatter712]

12. Behold the master race...

You ever notice how these white supremacist types look especially unevolved?

Eyes too close together, sloping forehead, eyebrow ridges...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

14. Like these guys?

[procon]

16. Creepy looking duo, everytime I seem them I wonder if they keep some

poor girl locked in their basement torture chamber.

[sharedvalues]

17. What's with the white polo shirts?

[smirkymonkey]

20. Like their hero...

[sagesnow]

21. Dressing like Trump on the golf course

White polo shirts and khaki pants.

[sharedvalues]

23. White sneakers too?

[malaise]

26. Did he wear the Con's beige pants -

their new uniform of hate?
